My question is what do flat worms look like just noticed tonight these small 1-3mm brownish / red tailed flat things on my sand bed and rock work they do seem to be moving. will post a pic in a few if i can find cam but any info or pic would be help full.

you dont want to "let them be" take care of them now while they are just a pest, insted of later when they become a problem. a natural preditor of flat worms are coral banded shrimp.

what else is a natural preditor of them besides the velvet nudi?
